The Rise of the Third Reich
Chapter 1067 Wall Street’s Calculation
"500 billion Euromarks to redeem Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras and British and French islands in the Caribbean..."
White House, Oval Office. President Roosevelt, who seemed to be in poor spirits, leaned on his chair and looked at Assistant Secretary of State Nelson Rockefeller.
"Do you think the 500 billion European marks are worth it?" Roosevelt asked himself. "If we look at land transactions purely, the value of Canada, British Bermuda, British Honduras and the British and French islands in the Caribbean is definitely More than 500 billion Euromarks. 500 billion Euromarks is only equivalent to 200 billion US dollars. The United States’ annual military expenditure is more than 80 billion US dollars. And 500 billion Euromarks is still their asking price, so there is no room for counter-offering.
But can Wall Street agree to such a deal? What the United States wants to pay out is definitely not the paper produced by the money printing machine, but real money and silver... This is the basis of currency! Nelson, am I right? "
Nelson Rockefeller adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and smiled lightly: "Mr. President, the basis of the US dollar is not just gold and silver."
"And the military strength of the United States!" Roosevelt said in a gloomy tone. "If we paid 500 billion European marks, withdrew troops from Australia and New Zealand, and allowed the Germans to continue to occupy Guyana and preside over the carving up of Brazil, then the whole world would We know that we are a defeated country and our military strength is far inferior to Germany!”
"Yes," Nelson Rockefeller said with a wry smile. "After defeating the war and not having enough gold and silver, the U.S. dollar still has to compete with the European mark? Mr. President, the future of the U.S. economy is inseparable from large-scale foreign investment and The basis of foreign investment is the strong U.S. dollar!”
Roosevelt smiled coldly: "It's not that the United States cannot do without markets outside North America, but that Wall Street needs U.S. dollars to rule the world, right?"
The competition between the US dollar and the European mark is ultimately a competition for world hegemony!
The winning party will become capital, and the printed paper is capital! That’s real money! For the United States of America and the coming United States of Europe, possessing the Midas touch of capital creation will lead to world domination.
If the U.S. dollar wins, Wall Street will be able to buy the whole world, and it will also be able to provide a steady stream of financial support for U.S. scientific and technological innovation. In the future, the U.S.’s innovation capabilities will be far ahead of the world. The source is the hegemony of the U.S. dollar, and the hegemony of the U.S. dollar is equal to Wall Street supremacy!
If the U.S. dollar were not the world's reserve currency, the U.S.'s huge trade deficit and fiscal deficit would have long ago turned it into a capital-starved country. Where would there be so much capital to invest in high technology?
Without capital investment, the innovation mechanism in the United States is zero!
If the Euromark wins, Europe's unity and reconstruction will be guaranteed, Europe's science and technology can also receive sufficient investment, and a set of scientific innovation mechanisms similar to those in the United States can be established. In fact, once the United States of Europe is established, its A large market, its many talents, and sufficient capital can definitely surpass the United States in history in terms of innovation capabilities!
"Mr. President," Nelson Rockefeller's tone became very solemn, "if our enemy was only Germany or Britain, I believe you would agree to pay. But our current enemy is the United States of Europe! If we paid Money, the United States of Europe will really emerge and be consolidated!
That is an intercontinental country that far exceeds the United States in terms of land area, population, industrial scale, and various resource reserves! Moreover, it is technologically advanced and has world financial hegemony... Do you think that if this country emerges, will the United States still have a future? "
Roosevelt glanced at Nelson Rockefeller and said, "What will happen to Wall Street if the United States unfortunately loses the war? Nelson, tell me the truth."
Nelson Rockefeller laughed: "Actually, I am a blond, blue-eyed German... My ancestors immigrated to the United States from Germany in the 18th century, and I can also speak a little German. It is not difficult for me to learn German. "
Roosevelt also smiled bitterly: "Actually, I am also a German! My ancestors are lowland Germans."
In a sense, both world wars were civil wars fought by the Germans! Germany, Britain, and the United States are all branches of the Germanic people - because English is a branch of the Germanic language family, and the Anglo-Saxons, the main ethnic group in the United Kingdom, are actually a part of the Germanic people, so both British and German people in the United States are It's Germanic.
In addition, there are Dutch, Danish, Belgian, Swedish, etc. people who are also Germanic. There are also many French people from northern France who are actually Germanic.
The German Nazi Party held high the banner of Aryan racial superiority. In fact, it was to reunite the originally scattered Germanic people to form a huge ruling nation that could dominate the world. If you really want to study race, the Slavs In fact, they are also a branch of the Aryans, but Hitler is unwilling to admit it.
Therefore, blond Americans can really "speak German", and defeat...at least for the Germans on Wall Street, does not mean the end of the world.
Financial capitalists not only know how to stop losses, but also know how to diversify investments, and even more know how to find new investment directions.
If you don’t know the above, you deserve to lose and commit suicide by jumping off the building!

"Salute to you, great leader!"
While Nelson Rockefeller was having a long conversation with President Roosevelt in the White House, Mussolini was meeting with his father, John Rockefeller Jr.!
John Rockefeller Jr. arrived with Lindbergh, the leader of the American National Fascist Party. When the two saw Roman Caesar, they stood at attention and raised their hands in salute.
"John, my old friend!" Mussolini politely stepped forward to shake hands and hug John Rockefeller Jr., and then said to his "good student" Lindbergh: "John and I are old friends... … If it weren’t for this war, he would have been very good friends with Hitler and Herschmann.”
Mussolini’s words are not completely nonsense. In fact, the German-American Rockefeller family is indeed pro-German!
Before the war broke out, the Standard Oil Company they controlled had provided a lot of help to Germany, including exporting oil and transferring technology to produce synthetic rubber and high-octane gasoline to the German company Farben. Moreover, Standard Oil Company (mainly Standard Oil Company of New Jersey) also funded many pro-Nazi propaganda activities before the outbreak of the war between the United States and Germany. After the war began, it was investigated by the Truman Commission and accused of treason. In 1942, he was fined $10,000...
"But the United States participated in this damn war!" The elderly John Rockefeller sat down on a large sofa and said in a complaining tone, "This was Roosevelt's biggest mistake. He could have become The greatest president in the history of the United States of America...he just had to watch and all America was ours."
Lindbergh on the side helped: "But he led the United States to join the world war, and even now he doesn't know how it will end."
Mussolini asked tentatively: "How about ending it with 500 billion European marks?"
"This is impossible!" John Rockefeller Jr. shook his head, and then added, "Of course the Rockefeller family and I are not opposed to using 500 billion European marks in exchange for a post-war situation that is more beneficial to the United States. But not everyone They are all pro-German like us... This is understandable because we are originally German, but they are not necessarily German, in fact most of them are not.”
Mussolini nodded in agreement and sighed: "Actually, paying money and settling the matter is the best solution at the moment... The United States has preserved its vitality, and it will not take long for it to rise again."
"If we don't lose money..." John Rockefeller Jr. hesitated, "Leader, do you think we really can't defeat Germany?"
"Can't beat it!" Mussolini frowned and shook his head, "I really can't beat it...Germany is too powerful now. It has millions of elite troops fighting all over the world, and it also has the best aircraft and submarines. And a huge fleet. And of course, terrible atomic weapons! Oh, John, do you know what that is?"
"I've heard," Rockefeller nodded, "that a bomb can destroy New York's weapons, right?"
"It's not that powerful," Mussolini said. "It can probably blow up Manhattan! By the way, if the United States really wants to fight, John, don't live in New York. Move to Rome. Now the Roman Empire is Take off, there are opportunities everywhere, and it is very safe. You can open a bank or an oil company. The Roman Empire is huge, and there will be oil. Your Standard Oil Company can explore anywhere.”
"Thank you very much," Rockefeller said with a smile. "I think Rome's future will be as glorious and prosperous as its past. The entire Wall Street will regard Rome as a hot spot for investment."
Winning big capitalists like Rockefeller to invest in Rome was actually another important purpose of Mussolini's coming to the United States.
Although the Roman Empire is now considered a first-class power, its economic and industrial foundation is still very weak. Although its territory is quite large, except for northern and central Italy, which are slightly more developed, other places are very backward and require a lot of investment. development.
But Rome was a capital-poor country, and the lira seemed unlikely to become the world's reserve currency, so Mussolini could only try his best to attract investment from foreign countries. And Wall Street now obviously needs a large and safe country that can accommodate huge investments.
